Works on Samsung Captivate GS

Got it working but it needed some coaxing. I'm not entirely sure what made it finally start working. At first it wasn't running as a service so I rebooted and that fixed that but it still wasn't alerting. I then changed all my notifications to stock sounds... (not sure why that makes a difference and I hope that will be a non-issue in a future update as I like my custom tones) no joy. Another reboot and cycling the widget twice and still no luck.

Just then I got a notification but the noLED didn't kick in after the screen turned back off. I hit the power button to check the sms and the screen stayed blank except for now my new notification dot was dancing on my screen!

Like I said I am not entirely sure what finally made it pop off but now it's working like a champ and I absolutely LOVE IT!

Props and much thanks to the OP/Dev! Great job!

EDIT: BTW using stock ROM except I rooted the device and did the edit to the SQL database to enable side-loading.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I think the missed call issue is caused by the timeout lag between the screen turning off and my application figuring out that the screen is off. Can you guys do me a favor ? can you check if NoLED works for SMS if you have absolutely no notifications prior to it ? I might have to delay the Missed call trigger a bit longer to make certain screen is definitely off. send me a pm if you're willing to try a couple of apks til we get things working.

I'm currently tinkering with some ideas here and there. I think a GUI will be in the works. It'll allow you to choose different colors for notifications, maybe a blink feature (experimental) to save battery. And the feature you're looking for; disable/enable certain types of notifications.

I'm currently having a problem with the blink feature in that when the dot disappears, pressing the Home button will wake the phone instead of bring you to the lock screen. So you will have to press "home" at least twice to unlock the screen if there are no visible notifications.

Overall, am pretty happy with .9, it certainly does the job for me. I might take a little break before adding more features. I'll definitely take care of bugs faster. so please do report them here. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bon1380:
Sorry for the newbie question, but how is it installed?
[Android Apps and Games] controller38:
For those who can't see dot for missed call, maybe you need to wait a little bit longer.

In my case, the blue dot appears after the screen off for 1-2 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] Excelsius:
Thank you for taking the time to explain this app. I hadn't had a high end phone until now and didn't know that such a feature existed and is missing in the Vibrant.
[Android Apps and Games] Ollie01:
That is right, I eventually got the blue dot after some time. Thanks for the tip. I was just expecting to see it as fast as the "SMS and emails dots".
[Android Apps and Games] thatjenngirl:
This seems to work great for me for missed calls, sms, and gmail, but my 3rd party apps it doesnt work for (touiteur/twitter). Am I missing something? I have the ringtone to a android stock notification sound and nothing. I'd really like for it to work for my twitter and email (I use mail droid).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
for twitter and other apps. Make sure they don't cause the screen to light up when you receive a notification. Otherwise, when a sound is played and while the screen is off (or has a notification already), a red dot should appear.
[Android Apps and Games] thatjenngirl:
yeah, the screen doesnt light up when I receive a notification. Im gonna reboot- which I have before and it never seemed to help. it did seem to work when i already had a notification (gmail, missed call, text) just not by itself. :(

thanks.

It's directly in the main screen, checkbox Launch Application, just after Themes

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

I just discovered this app yesterday, and love it :)

I learned it with the FAQ, and succed to have notification for sms, calls, gmail, hotmail, sfrmail.

I have to check my calendar (it's third party calendar), because for the moment, notification icon is not displayed.

Edit: corrected ! I just had to choose Agenda instead of my third party app :)​

But I have a question (maybe it's an evolution), correct me if I'm wrong with that I understood:

the display of each icon is based on the notification raised in the notification bar.

For example, to have the icon for my hotmail emails, I had to activate the "notification" in my app Emails, else NoLED can't detect them.

But personnaly, I don't want to have a notification in my notification bar for the mails received (I have a widget with a counter of not read mails, which is enough), but I want to see the icon Emails on the screen NoLED.

So, question is: is it possible to have an option in NoLED, which allows to kill/close the notification in the notification bar, separatly for each app ?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately that is not possible in NoLED. The job of the app is to really let you know of missing notifications, not delete them or change the native implementation of each app's notification system.
[Android Apps and Games] flippy12:
Ok, no pb, I understand that :good:

If I delete the notification from the bar myself by another app (for ex, I daily use Tasker), is it a problem for NoLED ?

-> In fact, I can test it to see :)

Missed call notification question

Question about NoLED and missed call notifications. I've got a contact on my phone called "ignore me" that I always send to voice mail, and when a number attached to this contact calls, Android itself does not notify me of the missed call. However, NoLED still pops up with the "missed call" icon. I'm confused; how can NoLED notify me of the call if Android itself doesn't put the notification in the top bar? Is that a bug, or just an awkward corner case?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It shouldn't affect NoLED, but worth a try in any case ;)

Unfortunately all implementations of block or ignore calls out there don't block the root calling functions so third party apps that are "listening" for incoming calls are still getting triggered which includes NoLED.

I see no way around that. Perhaps try adding the Phone app via Monitored Apps and see if that does a better job? Stuff in Monitored Apps rely on the status bar notification to fire NoLED so perhaps it'll work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] hithere3:
Ok! No problem at all, just thought I'd ask. I'll give that a try and see what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] flippy12:
Re: [APP] NoLED v6.0.18 - Use the AMOLED screen for incoming notifications

Maybe a request: can you add a file .nomedia in the folder of NoLED ?

It's to not see all the images of the themes in the photo app :)
[Android Apps and Games] patefoniq:
Hi!

Could You make the feature like "one place icon display"? When I check the option "blink screen", good way will be that the icons appears in one, always the same, place - something like physical LED. :) It doesn't metter is it on the left side of the screen, or on the right, top or bottom. More important is, that would be same place allways.

Sorry, for my bad English.

best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Rock_Harder:
Would it be possible to use the notification icon instead of the APP icon?
[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Gazca:
NoLED on Samsung Blaze

Yep, just downloaded the app. Fairly tech savvy and have read all directions and FAQ's on the subject. What I was looking for in this app was to save battery (by using blink option with lots of TIME OFF) and to press as few buttons as possible in order to get to my lock screen (by selecting only POWER button as a dismiss button.

Well, with my luck, this is the only set up I want and the only one that didn't work.

I set on Time to 100ms and off time to 8 seconds. I press POWER button while the DOT is off. This is where it's supposed to work but instead the blinking LED stays on for three seconds. After it goes off I have to press POWER twice and if I'm lucky it goes through but other times it gets stuck real good.

My only other working alternative is to turn on BACK button and POWER button as a dismissal and when the LED is off press button and then press back button. But like I said, my goal is to press as little buttons as possible. I want it the way this app intended so hopefully this is a glitch that someone knows their way around. Please help!

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] bizum1:
works great on my Note 2 and friends GSIII :)

THX
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Good idea. I'll roll that out in the next release. Thanks !

I'm avoiding that option intentionally actually because I don't want to deal with screen pixel burn-in. You can, however, set the "dots moving time" to something very large and have the icons look static.

I like colored icons :cool:

Hi, what device is this on? Are you using any custom launchers/lock screens ?
[Android Apps and Games] devinpatterson:
Checking email from another source (PC) wakes display

Hi Madmack, great app:good:

I hope this isn't covered somewhere in the thread (read the faq, went through settings a few times, did a few searchs in thread but the search terms are so generic I may have missed it), but when I have a email notification and I the read/view the new message on my PC it will wake my phone's display (Verizon galaxy s3/SCH-i535, JB 4.1.1).

Right now I'm toggling noled off, when I'm at home and primarily using the PC, but it would be great if instead of turning on the screen it simply removed the email icon/dot on my S3.

Thanks for the great app and taking time to troubleshoot/support it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The reason why you see the screen on is because when NoLED dismisses the notification screen (after reading the email on your desktop) it acts as if you pressed on the back button. On my test devices, the screen turns on showing the lock screen and then shuts off automatically after roughly 3-5 seconds. NoLED does this because there isn't a reliable way in Android to shut the screen down in code.
[Android Apps and Games] CybeRoky:
I looking a quick way to put ON or OFF all notification when I need it.. I found in settings -> miscellaneous -> NoLED is ON/OFF Notif (Enable little "NoLED is ON/OFF" notifications)

I try this settings but nothing happens.. Am I do something wrong?

It will be fine when phone is in BLOCKING MODE .. NoLED will automaticly go to OFF mode but it doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
after enabling this option, click on the widget and you should see a small notification at the center bottom (a toast) that says "NoLED is on" or "NoLED is off". You won't see anything in the notification bar on top.
[Android Apps and Games] imtoomuch:
Very cool app. Thanks!

The "Blink" feature does not work as expected though. I have "On time" set to 50ms and "Off time" set to 8 seconds. When I change these settings, nothing seems to be different. And the screen and/or icons definitely don't go away for 8 seconds. Unless I am not understanding this feature.

I have the Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII running the 4/8/13 nightly official Carbon ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] CybeRoky:
eftrrori called

Tnx its working.. What about my suggestion.. That will be this function connected with android blocking mode on/off? Is this even possible?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the trick i'm using to force screen on/off is no longer working with some 4.2 roms. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find another hack to fix this. Maybe I should simply remove that option for 4.2 users. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure what android blocking mode is. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] imtoomuch:
Thanks for the response. I wouldn't remove the option. Just make a note next to the Blink setting that it probably won't work on 4.2.
[Android Apps and Games] CybeRoky:
I upload SS of blocking mode settings..
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
oh ok. thanks for the attachment. It's a Samsung specific feature actually. Anything broken while blocking mode is on?
[Android Apps and Games] CybeRoky:
When block mode is ON I expect from NoLED app that notifications from NoLED are allso disabled, but they aren't. (so this is my suggestion if that is possible)

regards, Rok =)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
There is nothing I can do as it is not an Android feature so developers can't make use of it. It is a samsung locked feature and I would even say that they have a bug in it (my app should never know of incoming sms/missed but it does)
[Android Apps and Games] dasbooter:
I wondered if the developer would consider developing this app as a daydream app for jelly bean. You would really fill an Niche. since the LED lights on my Nexus 4 are disabled when the screen is on then you're App would be especially useful. your app seems to be one of the most attractive and would be really useful as an Daydream app. Just a suggestion
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I considered it but I figured I'll have to either keep things the way they are or release a separate app given that NoLED is backward compatible to Eclair which doesn't have Daydream.
[Android Apps and Games] tomerstern:
Love the app. Have been using it for 2 years.

A couple of suggestions:

1. Let the user pick the size of the displayed pictures.

2. Put a white 1px border around the displayed pictures.
[Android Apps and Games] YMatrix:
First of all would like to say - Love your work!

When I bought this phone I didn't notice it didn't have a led, and your app just makes life easy! :laugh:

But I seem to have a problem.

Every now and then, when NoLed gives a notification, I don't always open my phone to see what it is, but when trying to light my screen nothing happens, as if the the device is frozen and the screen is off. I overcome this by hard rebooting (10 second power button press).

I have also noticed that this "freezing" situation happens on the icon refresh on the screen (which is set to default 8 seconds) , meaning when the app clears the screen and then is supposed to redraw the elements, its gets stuck.

I am running the app on Galaxy S Advance, with CoCore kernel and XXLQB with Pure Vanilla.

I have read in this long thread that you usually want people to give you logs for crashes and freezes, but since I can't turn my phone on, I can't get the log :rolleyes:

This symptom doesn't have any consistency, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.

Hope you can give me advice why this is happening and maybe a fix to overcome this!

Thanks!

Holo locker

Hello !!!!

before anything thanks so much for you the efforts you put into this.

Im runnning samsung ace whit cm 7.2 and Gingerbread 2.3.7 and IM using Holo Launcher, I have found a conflict whit holo locker, which is the locker for Holo launcher, I dont like the default one so I made the change

However while on Holo Locker Noled only works right showing the the notification icon for the first 2 times after this ,for the third and so on, it would turn the screen on and showing the locker just like if you have pressed home or menu bottom, this by it self will let you know that you have a notification but it will drain your batt.

I was wondering if you have any support for this locker or any ideas on how to fix it whithout stop using the locker. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you.

HTC One Issue

Hi - I have been using NoLED for years and love it.

Just upgraded to an HTC One - and this is the situation...

When you allow accessibility for NoLED the unlock of the screen and answer calls swipe function stop working correctly. Basically you can unlock the screen by a single touch (rather than a swipe) and when your phone rings any touch of the screen anywhere answers the call - which makes it impossible to take the phone out of your pocket without answering the call!!!!

If you disable the Accessibilty rights then it works fine again - only monitored apps notifications don't show up.

So I can either have some NoLED functionality and working swipe answer / unlock or full NoLED functionality and broken swipe unlock / answer.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Thanks.

Im using a SGS4 and that annoying TTS bug is now affecting the stock browser. Keeps saying Page loading, Page loaded etc. Doesnt seem to affect home screen anymore though which is good.
[Android Apps and Games] svandebrug:
Jelly Bean updgrade causes TalkBack to stay turned on when NoLED is enabled.

I recently upgraded my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 from ICS to Jelly Bean (4.1.2). I also had the NoLED application installed and was previously using it. Later that night, I upgraded my husband's phone. His phone immediately started talking to him each time he swiped to a different screen, or opened a folder, etc. Page 3 of 7, Workspace 4 of 7, Folder Open, Folder Closed, and so on. My phone was not doing that. The next day, I recall enabling NoLED (under Settings, Accessibility, right below the toggle for TalkBack. At some point my phone started doing the exact same thing that his was doing. I didn't put two and two together until today when I realized that turning off NoLED would cause the Talkback to stop.

I am just making you aware of the issue. I have uninstalled NoLED for now but would love to start using it again, once this bug is fixed.

Thanks for having this forum!!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] YMatrix:
And if you read the faq on the homepage: :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] auswill2:
Found issue also affects Gallery on SGS4. When I select an image it starts talking :(

I disabled Google TTS which seems to have fixed the problem but the browser is still talking. Cant seem to disable Samsung TTS
[Android Apps and Games] PMoto:
This Google TTS bug, is getting worse...

For me the only good solution is running other launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
I'm assuming this has already been covered, but the thread is 442 pages. is it possible to automatically select all apps for notifications?

Thanks for a fantastic app! BLN is disabled on newest versions of CM10.1, so your app is critical. Thanks!

Launcher

I've just updated my Gal S2 to 4.1.2. and am getting the 'talking' problem with No LED.

In one answer I note that an alternative launcher was mentioned, Nova and Go. Is one better than another to allow No LED to work normally and leave the Talk settings as standard please?

I would be very sorry to loose No LED

Thank you

JohnG
[Android Apps and Games] lopez1_de:
I really can't believe this. ;)

Why is there a technical reason to show NoLED in front off all to just play some sound?
[Android Apps and Games] johngarnett:
Update on update problem!

Further to my previous question, I have installed Nova Launcher. I have reinstalled NoLED and the talking doesn't happen when scrolling between pages.

NoLED seems to work by advising missed calls, texts and mail etc as it did before 4.1.2 update.

Hope this may help someone, somewhere!:confused:

[Android Apps and Games] PMoto:
The "talking" ONLY happens in TouchWiz.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Freezing and non-stock kernels:eek: I would contact the dev for these issues. My app has been tested and works fine on all stock phones out there so it really isn't an issue with NoLED.

NoLED does not support custom lockers except WidgetLocker. I gave up on supporting the different lockers out there a while back. You should contact the devs of this locker to have them NOT disable the default Android locker but overlay their locker on top of it if you want to continue using it with NoLED.

Damn it. HTC just joined the club of "let's screw up our stock implementation of accessibility service". Samsung and HTC look sweet together in that club. No solution my friend. Contact HTC and ask them to fix their screw up. This will happen with any app that needs Accessibility btw. e.g. Tasker.

Not possible :( never thought anyone would want that. NoLED actually doesn't have a way to determine which apps use the notification LED and which don't so if you enable "all apps" under the monitored list, you'll get bombarded with icons for each single app that puts something in the status bar. I'm not sure you'll be happy with that :eek::eek:

well, the technical reason is that NoLED is a visual application as its core and framework. To make it work without the notification screen will need a rewrite of the framework, something I'm not willing to do.
[Android Apps and Games] YMatrix:
Thanks for your reply.

I identified the problem with the proximity options set on.

When disabling it I got no more freezes :D
[Android Apps and Games] arjag:
Hi madmack and NoLED appreciators,

I recently got my i9100 and NoLED is a great solution and replacement for the lack of a hardware notification LED.

I have tried quite a few roms and notification apps with this phone and feel there are a few additional settings that I think would improve NoLED.

In "battery saving features" section

I think a setting "screen timeout" with settings from never > various times > immediately, instead of screen off.

then a check box between "screen timeout" and "notification timeout" with the behaviour of;

default notification settings to "notification timeout" or "screen timeout"

This would allow the choice of default to either notifications being dismissed at timeout, or accumulating with screen timeout. Then, with accumulating notifications when screen is manually activated the first thing seen is the NoLED screen with all of the accumulated notifications. (ideally this manual activation should time out with the default timeout duration of the lock screen.) If NoLED is dismissed, so are the notifications, else they continue to accumulate for next additional notification or manual screen activation.

To expand on this functionality, in the "Notifications' settings" in the long press settings a check to follow the timeout default (set out above) or the opposite.

I also thing in this area should be a check box to "force screen off at timeout" as to not see the unlock screen timeout.

Then another check option that is grayed until above is checked, "force bln" (echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/notification_led) or similar

this would allow for behaviour such as;

sms arrive > NoLED activates and sms icon/dot > screen timeout > bln on

email arrive > NoLED with 2 icon/dot > screen timeout > (bln back on due to sms not email)

bluetooth file ( custom notification) > NoLED with 3 icons > notification timeout (screen off) > bln back on due to email, not sms or bt.

manually activate screen and see sms and email but not bluetooth notification in NoLED.

I hope I have explained this clearly enough, I can envision a few ways of laying out the settings to achieve this resulting behaviour.

I think this would allow the maximum benefit of bln(ww) and NoLED working together.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I am looking forward to feedback on my ideas...
